Too Faced Ultimate Neutral Eye Shadow Palette | Review

“For all you natural lovers out there, your beauty dreams have just become reality. From professional makeup artists to starlets and real women, the natural eye had been one of the most coveted but challenging looks to achieve until Too Faced created the original Natural Eye palette in 2009.”

“Of course we had to include some of your favorites from the bestselling Natural Eyes, Natural Matte, and Natural At Night palettes, but get ready to take your neutral game to the next level with new exclusive shades.”

“Too Faced Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer Jerrod Blandino was inspired to put a modern spin on the natural eyes concept with 30 dream shades that allow you to create the best natural look. He took the most beloved shades from past bestselling natural eye palettes and paired them with cutting-edge textures and brand new colors.”

“Now you can go from “I woke up like this” ease to sexy, seductive and everything in between. It’s the ultimate library of natural shades developed for professional makeup artists and packaged for real, fabulous women.”

I’m a little late reviewing this because I’ve had so much going on. I recently moved across the country (not really but it feels like it) and getting swatches for this palette was hard for me but I got some good pics before I dipped my brush in it. I purchased this the moment it came out and now 6 months later I still feel the same since the first time I dipped my brush into it … its okay. While the shades are gorgeous, soft, creamy and have a wonderful scent, the pigmentation wasn’t good enough for me to justify the purchase or the price tag. Which is saying a lot because I can literally justify any beauty purchase.

While these shades are absolutely stunning in the pan, the pigmentation is really disappointing. I had to really get a lot of product on my brush and even then it didn’t deliver. And then theres the kickback which I don’t mind if the pigmentation is amazing. But in this case it was a problem for me. I had such high hopes for this palette because these shades are my dream shades all in one palette for every day use. If the pigmentation had been on point, this would have definitely become a staple in my collection.

I’m considerably light skinned so I was surprised when these shades didn’t really stand out on my eyes or show up enough to even take a good eye makeup picture. Not to mention the darker shades were a nightmare to blend out. Although that didn’t surprise me much because I’ve never had much luck with the darker shades (black and purples in particular) in any Too Faced Palettes.

In hindsight I wish I’d returned this one because I will probably never pull this out. It’s beautiful to look at and the shades would have been a perfect addition to my collection if the pigmentation would have come thru for me. If you purchased this and loved it let me know! Maybe I got a bad batch. Either way it’s still available on the Too Faced website so you can still get your hands on this.
